I have had both individual and group therapy. The latter was good for a while, for it provided me with opportunity of talking openly with different people about personal experiences I never before had the courage of exposing. Also, knowing how others react to certain life situations that we always think “can only happen to us” also helps to broad our horizons.
But of course therapy alone can never makes one grow if the person herself only goes there, listens for one hour or two and then goes home and “delete” all they’ve heard from their minds. So I believe the subject must make a conscious decision to choose a path in life that allows his mind to expand. Two essential things in this process, for me, are literature and art. Either passively or actively, exploring the world of human creation can never be any less than empowering, because the subect is forced to confront the immense potential for creative action a human being can have.
